Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 26 More Luck Points

?Inside Alex's house.

Alex sits on the sofa with a thoughtful expression.

Now that everything has calmed down, Alex finally has the time to think about what happened earlier.

Back at the dungeon, when he killed the aswang that's threatening the lives of the students, instead of seeing happiness or relief on their faces, he saw despair.

It was as if killing the aswang was a big mistake.

A mistake that will result in certain death for all of them!

Thinking of that, Alex crossed his arms and muttered, "Why would they react that way… is there something much scarier than the aswang in there?"

"But when I looked through the dungeon, I didn't see anything though."

The more Alex thought about it, the heavier the frown on his face gets.

"Is it just a response from being held captive by the aswang that made them react like that?"

Just as he thought of that, Alex shook his head and denied it.

From what he saw, they seem sure that something bad is going to happen to them because of the aswang's death.

"Hmm, maybe there is really something more scary that they encountered in their time in the Alter Dimension."

Scratching his head, Alex said, "Maybe the aswang was only a subordinate of whatever it is that they are fearful of that's why they reacted like that?"

After thinking for a while, Alex sighed, "Hais, thinking of all this on my own is just hurting my head."

"I better just wait for Kris to finish interviewing those kids and tell me their discovery."

After that, Alex stopped thinking about it.

Then Alex called his character panel and viewed his talent.

What he saw next caused a smile to emerge from his frowning face.

His pitifully low number of luck points has finally recovered a bit!

[Luck Points: 53]

From a pitiful 26 points to 53 points!

It increases by 27 points which also equals to the total number of monsters that Alex killed this time.

That means with every kill, Alex can earn 1 luck point!

Chuckling, he said, "Doesn't this mean that I can just go to a low level area and bully the monsters there to earn more luck points?"

Others might say that doing such a thing is shameful but Alex won't shy away from doing such things.

For him, the thing that he cares the most about is the eyes of other people.

Just when he's in a happy mood, Alex's thoughts are interrupted by the rumbling sound of his stomach.

Growl~

"But first, I should go eat something." Alex said, smiling wryly.

He stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

10 minutes later, Alex walked back to the living room with a plate in hand.

He sat on the sofa and turned on the tv.

Just in time, a lottery program was showing on tv.

[Okay, everyone, the lottery is about to start!]

[Our first ball is now being picked… it's here, number 36!]

[Second number…]

[... It seems like there's still no winner for our lottery's 284 million prize. Everyone, better luck next time.]

…

Alex watched the program unconcernedly while eating his rice and adobo.

Seeing the huge amount of prize money, Alex said, "Tsk tsk tsk, 284 million, whoever wins that money can live his whole life without money problems anymore!"

"If only I can be the one to win that…!"

Alex suddenly paused, then his eyes lit up with a bright light.

"That's right!"

"I can win it if I want to!"

Just like what was said in the beginning, Alex is a poor man.

Looking for scraps in the dumpsite is his main source of income.

Alex's dream is to become a rich man and live his life however he wants.

Now, this dream can soon be achieved with the help of his talent!

But then, he looked at his luck points and said, "With only this much amount of luck points, I am sure it will not be enough to last throughout the whole lottery program."

"It seems like my goal for tomorrow will be to farm more luck points."

"I wonder if there's a good place to farm some weak monsters."

Thinking for a while, Alex thought of a perfect location.

Slime Plains!

It's a low level area where slimes can usually be found wandering around.

There, Alex can kill a lot of slimes to earn luck points as well as use [Sacrifice] for more attribute points!

When he thought of this, a big smile can't help but emerge on his face.

"Then, that's it, tomorrow I will head to Slime Plains as soon as I get out of school!"

Saying that, Alex hurriedly finished his dinner, took a quick shower, and headed to bed to sleep.

Alex slowly drifted off to sleep and it was silent the whole night.

The next day, Alex woke up early and went to school after eating his breakfast.

When he got there, just like yesterday, only a few students were there and most of them were still sleeping on their desks.

However, this time, Kris isn't there.

Alex didn't care about that and sat down on his seat.

Taking out his school books, he started reading it seriously, immersing himself with the knowledge that in the past seemed foreign to him.

With the help of intelligence, that is just one point away from becoming ten times of an average person, learning has become easier like never before.

Intelligence includes a lot of aspects like reasoning, intuition, comprehension, imagination, memory, etc.

Because of that, even if he just read a book that he's totally clueless about, he doesn't need anyone to teach him to understand it.

That's why, studying by himself is slowly becoming addicting for Alex.

Time continued passing without Alex noticing and soon, the school bell rang, waking up Alex who was really engrossed with studying.

Raising his head, at some point, all of his classmates had already arrived.

Then he heard Kris' voice on the side which made him look at her.

"Oh, you're finally back."
